Development of Regenerative Design Principles for Building Retrofits
Regenerative design within the built environment arises from the need to shift from the current fragmented sustainability approaches of doing less harm, towards a whole system that actively co-evolves with the living world around us. This idea is starting to become well established in new developments, but this paper will explore how regenerative design can be applied specifically to existing buildings. A proactive retrofit approach is proposed to explore how net-positive, restorative and regenerative concepts can be integrated into building retrofit design process. A regenerative design model is developed to establish a set of regenerative design principles for building retrofits. This model will enable the extraction of key interactions between physical, human and natural systems in the built environment to emphasise how a single building retrofit can positively interact with its surrounding systems. Identifying emerging technologies and building case studies to address these key interactions provides clear and practical guidance for developing a set of regenerative design principles to achieve these proactive retrofit outcomes.
